Chipotle - Red Wine Vinegar

Red Wine Vinegar

We like red wine vinegar for a few reasons: it’s robust and has the ability to balance the sweetness of our Chipotle Honey Vinaigrette. It also provides a hint of acidity to our Sofritas as it braises, helping the other flavors sing in unison. Can you hear it? (So-fri-tas.)

FACT

Burrito bottoms up

Red wine vinegar is red wine that’s turned into vinegar (don’t you just love it when names make sense?). Since vinegar is fermented ethanol, AKA drinking alcohol, you’re probably wondering if there’s any danger of vinegar-ing under the influence. Lucky for Sofritas enthusiasts, the answer is no. The process of fermentation actually turns the alcohol into acetic acid—a mild colorless liquid that gives vinegar that biting, tart flavor. So while we recommend Sofritas-ing responsibly... feel free to live it up.
